In a mass email, the Community Assistance Center in Sandy Springs announced its inaugural Food ‘n Fun Festival, set for today from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Morgan Falls Athletic Complex, has been cancelled “due to the threat of severe thunderstorms.”

In the email, the center stated, “There is no reschedule date due to availability of the event site.”

“Please inform anyone you know who was planning to attend the event,” the email also stated. “If you registered and paid to walk and would like to get your event T-shirt you may do so today at the event registration site at parking lot of North Springs United Methodist church (next to the Morgan Falls athletic fields.) Or you may pick up your shirt at [the] CAC Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thanks for your support of the Community Assistance Center.”

The center serves the poor in Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, offering food, classes and other programs to help residents gain independence.
